not pay for this paper beyond January

because We cannot afford to pay for

PEELED to be here. Our friends in
Fayetteville will find their accounts
with Mr.. Geo. G. Scurlock. They

The Grand Army posts OF Utica have resolved
not To parade at the Clinton centennial II the
President is present. It Is hardly likely that this
announcement will cause the President TO repeat
his action in the st. Louis matter. No insults are
threatened, and men who are not expected In any
event TO play leading parts IN the Clinton ceebra-
ton merely say, peevishly as most people will
think, that they win not play at all. There was
doubtless sufficient in the peculiar circumstances
Of the 81. Louis affair to make withdrawal OF the
promise to be present In the city during the en-
campment a proper act OF protection to presi-
Dental dignity, even though the chances OF an at
tempt to perpetrate the threatened insults were
Enthusiastically small But, except under extra
ordinary circumstances, our Official representa-
tives are not expected to deprive themselves Of
the American privilege OF going where they please,
merely because somebody who does not like them
would prefer TO have them remain at home, and ex-
cessiye to the hermit act would doubtless
be attributed, not to dignity, but TO timid sympa-
thy-seeking sensitiveness, real or feigned. The
sulks OF ''pent-up Utica" should not be allowed to
AFFECT In the least the question Of the Presidents
presence at the Clinton celebration. II the with
drayal OF the st. Louis acceptance prevents the
President from making a western visit this sum-
mer IL viii be unfortunate both for the West and
for the expected visitor. The great and growing
West is entitled to receive from President that
appreciation OF its importance, its wonderful de-
velOpment and Its real needs, which only personal
observation OF its condition can insure.

Some recent decisions, apparently extending the
liability OF negligent as distinguished from &C
lively criminal bank officers and bank-directors,
and the indirect suggestion OF Comptroller Tren-
holm In connection with the Fidelity Bank crash
that hs accepts the new-mads law as a basis OF
action, should serve as an effective warning to
purely ornamental Officers and directors, espe-
ctally where they ornament national banks. The

Whatever may be said In depreciation Of prohi-
bition by statutory enactment, there are ways Of
enforcing IL practically with which no fault can
be found The superintendent OF the Schuylk1ll
division OF the Reading Railroad has issued an
order imposing strict abstinence from tntOxicat-
ing drinks upon his employees, whether on duty
or not. As long as so valuable trusts, In human
life and property, are con1ded to the keeping Of
engineers. conductors and trainmen it is of the
first Importance that they should be always in
fun possession OF their reasoning faculties with
every sense vigorous and alert. The superinten-
dent gives fair warning that q single breach OF
his rule win procure the instant dismissal OF the
offender. No man can fairly complain OF this as
harsh, for It merely requires him to choose be-
tween one luxurious habit and a berth on the
road in question. 1t should be said to the credit
OF the railroading fraternity, that q majority OF
Its members are men OF temperate habits They
realize their responsibilities and try to meet
them. But their work is OF such a nature that not
the slightest trifling with 1ntoxicants ought to
be tolerated, and IL would not be surprising now
thai the movement has been started II other rail-
road superintendent throughout the country
were to put their lines upon rigidly prohibitory
basis
